The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has suddenly gone incommunicado, as the wife of former Aviation Minister, Fani-Kayode, Precious Chiwendu, has released shocking report, contradicting the anti-graft agency’s earlier statement.

The EFCC, had earlier disclosed that Fani-Kayode’s wife’s account had the sum of N2.4 million.

However, in a statement made available to Post-Nigeria, Fani-Kayode’s wife, insisted that the “EFCC lied”, adding that, only a paltry N295, 518 was in her account, contrary to EFCC’s report.

The statement reads: “The assertion by one Wilson Uwujaren, who is supposed to be the Spokesman of the EFCC ,that Precious Chikwendu’s Access Bank account was used to launder Jonathan’s campaign funds or funds from the NSA’s office, and that approximately 2.4 million naira balance, was found in the said account at the time of her arrest, is a lie from the pit of hell.

“The said account was opened in 2005, at Onitsha, when Precious Chikwendu was about to start at the University of Calabar. At that time, it was not known as Access Bank, but Intercontinental Bank. The account was used by her from 2005 till 2012, when it was abandoned and went dormant.

“It was not utilised or activated again, until August 2016, when small deposits of between N200,000 and N500,000 were made into it, and the total amount that entered into that account over a period of 2 months, was approximately N4 million naira.

“The money was spent on looking after the family, paying staff salaries, and to buy groceries.

“Consequently, at the time that the account was frozen last Friday, the amount that was left in it was N95, 000. She was not notified about the freezing of the account, until someone paid N200, 000 into it on Saturday.

“The money entered the account, but after that, it could not be accessed. She decided to stop at the bank on her way out of Ado-Ekiti, on Monday, in order to know what was going on, and she was then detained and offered to the Police and EFCC, together with her 8 month old son, Aragorn, for arrest.

“The total amount that was in the account at the time of the arrest, was N295,000, which is approximately 600 USD.

“This is reflected in the screenshot…together with the relevant dates”.

The statement added: “How Wilson of the EFCC, arrived at his figure of N2.3 million, being in the account at the time of arrest, is mind-boggling and absurd. It is nothing, but a shameless and barefaced lie, and he and the organisation that he works for, are nothing, but pernicious liars.

“It is equally absurd to suggest that the said account had anything to do with Jonathan’s campaign funds, or Dasuki’s NSA funds, given the fact that the said account was not even active or functional between 2012 right up until August, 2016.

“At the time that she abandoned and stopped using the account in 2012, Precious Chikwendu, had not even met Chief Fani-Kayode. The lies of the EFCC on this matter are sickening, and they are wicked and sadistic people.

“Wilson’s assertions are just one example of such lies. The only reason that Precious Chikwendu’s bank accounts were frozen, and she was subjected to such inhuman treatment, is because she is married to Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, who is a politician and a leading member of the opposition.

“They wanted to punish her and their 8 month old son, Aragorn, just to hurt and spite Chief Fani-Kayode.

“Finally, let me add this. It is not true that Precious Chikwendu has 17 accounts in GTB. This is another dirty EFCC lie.

“She has one current account, with a merged savings account in GTB, which was opened in 2012.

“Outside of that, she has a dollar account, and a pounds sterling account, with the same bank, which was all opened on the same day, in 2012.

None of these accounts have any connection whatsoever with public funds, or with Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, and neither was any GTB BVN linked to his. Again, on this issue, the EFCC lied.

“Neither is it true that the EFCC were not at the bank in Ado-Ekiti, to arrest her, because three of their operatives were actually there manning the bank door, with their identity cards pinned to their jackets. They were backed by five fully armed Policemen in uniform.

“They made it clear to Precious Chikwendu, that they had been ordered to bring her to Abuja by road, that same evening, and that if she could not leave her son in the bank with the Manager, he would have to come for the ride too.

“Had it not been for the intervention of Governor Fayose, that is exactly what would have happened, and only God knows what they would have been subjected to on the way.”
